  • Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q178984

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if you remove one or more page breaks from a worksheet when multiple worksheets are selected (that is, you are in group edit mode), the page breaks may not be removed from all of the worksheets. Specifically, the page breaks may not be removed from the last or next-to-last selected worksheet.

If you manually remove page breaks from a worksheet while multiple worksheets are selected, make sure that you also switch to the last and next-to-last selected worksheets and remove the page breaks from these sheets.

If you are using a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro or procedure to remove page breaks while multiple worksheets are selected, make sure that all of the page breaks are correctly removed by including code similar to the following: 
   ' Store the cell from which to remove page breaks.
   xCell = ActiveCell.Address

   ' For each worksheet that is currently selected...
   For Each xSheet In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets

       ' Remove the page breaks from the active cell in that worksheet.
       xSheet.Range(xCell).PageBreak = xlPageBreakNone

   ' Repeat for all selected worksheets.
   Next xSheet
In this example, xCell is the cell that is immediately below and/or to the right of a page break. When you run a macro or procedure that includes this code, it removes the page breaks from the active cell in each of the selected worksheets.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
